Exploring dependence of COVID-19 on environmental factors and spread prediction in India

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the spread of COVID-19 in India using the Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed (SEIR) model to establish the impact of socio-behavioural aspects, especially social distancing.

Current laboratory diagnostics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

TL;DR: Promising information can be garnered from preliminary investigations, showing that the vast majority of COVID-19 patients seem to develop a sustained immune response against the virus, characterized especially by emergence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgA, 1 to 2 weeks after the onset of fever and/or respiratory symptoms.
